Forecasting the Reebok Championships

Reebok has gone away from the Big Time title and is called the Summer Championships this year. The tournament boasts 224 teams from 39 states. The tournament has eight pre-seeded teams for a mini-tournament that will run through the event's first two days.

The Illinois Wolves are one of the best overall teams in the country and shine with unselfishness and team play. Belmont Shore will lean on the 1-2 punch of five-star guards Demar DeRozan and Brandon Jennings.

In terms of getting the most bang for your buck on the first two days of action, the adidas Super 64 event might be your best bet. Tournament organizers have the top teams separated into four-team power pools, and each of the tournaments top teams is guaranteed three games against other top-flight teams.

The top pool boasts four of the most successful teams on the circuit this year in Indiana Elite, Pump 'N' Run Elite, Atlanta Celtics and Playaz. All four teams have won events this year, and all four teams will play each other in pool play.

Baltimore's Team Melo will lean on Sean Mosley, while the Carolina Raptors look to guards Demarquis Bost (Mississippi State) and Damier Pitts. California Supreme has the best overall young player in the field in Jeremy Tyler. The team consists mostly of 2010 and 2009 prospects. They will test themselves in the 17-under division.

Coaches and scouts certainly will be able to find some sleepers in the 16U and 15U divisions, too.
